Transport Ministry ground 25 aircraft

The Transport Ministry has instructed Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways to inspect their Bombardier-manufactured Q400 aircraft for engine damage. The ministry issued the inspection order following a 12 August incident, in which a Japan Air Q400 aircraft was damaged during take off from the Itami Airport near Osaka. Inspections are expected to take place on 25 aircraft, which have been grounded until inspections clear them for takeoff.
